Bordeaux has virtually abandoned the Carménère grape, but it flourishes in Chile where they produce it as a single variety or blend it with Cabernet Sauvignon. This Carménère has about 10% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. The wine is dense purple in colour with a cedary, blackcurrant nose. It’s full-bodied, dry with a fruity blackcurrant flavour, good length with a note of cinnamon on the finish.
